RailFanning With Fasha - I spotted this pair of Piedmont & Northern Railway GP15's sitting on a siding in Ranlo NC. Please click "LIKE" button Up!!
Back in the day, the P&N railroad used to be one of the most profitable roads in the country. Before SCL bought it, the line ran from Gastonia (with a spur down to Belmont) all the way into uptown Charlotte. It was bought by SCL in the late 60s I think. In any case, the old P&N main was abandoned past Mount Holly by CSX a couple of decades ago, but a short line operator (Patriot Rail) re-opened it under the old name a year or so ago.
